BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Dirwin Pioneer. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

5 reasons to buy

  • The Pioneer can handle steep inclines on throttle power alone.
  • In a throttle-only range test, a reviewer covers 16.5 miles and 1,200 feet of elevation gain over rocky desert trails.
  • Testers praise the suspension fork and fat tires for delivering a smooth, comfortable ride over light off-road terrain.
  • The Logan hydraulic disc brakes provide good stopping power.
  • The Pioneer comes with fenders, a rear rack rated for 55lb, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation.

9 reasons not to buy

  • A tester reports a delay of up to two pedal revolutions before assistance kicks in.
  • The Pioneer's product page lists Kenda tires, but testers receive unbranded tires, and one gets a puncture on their first off-road ride.
  • A 5’6” reviewer finds the bike too big despite the stated height range of 5’4” to 6’4”.
  • Experts say the Pioneer isn't very maneuverable and doesn’t turn easily.
  • One tester bemoans the slow throttle acceleration.
  • Most reviewers find the saddle hard and uncomfortable.
  • The kickstand blocks the pedals when deployed.
  • A tester says the 70cm handlebar is too narrow for off-roading.
  • The below-average 2A charger means slow charging times.

Bottom line

Dirwin’s Pioneer is a fat-tire e-bike with a 750W motor and 720Wh battery. Testers appreciate the climbing ability, strong brakes, decent range, and clean aesthetics. The bike rides comfortably over moderately rough terrain. However, laggy pedal assist, sluggish throttle acceleration, and poor agility count against this bike. Reviewers also report receiving unbranded tires instead of the listed Kenda tires. Nonetheless, testers consider the Pioneer a decent option for casual off-roading at this price.

Dirwin Pioneer All Terrain Fat Bike

Overall, my favorite thing with the Pioneer is just how nice of a ride it is, on some pretty tricky terrain.
